Ian Cordasco 91636e8b85 Switch VMWare Datastore to use Requests
Previously the VMWare Datastore was using HTTPS Connections from httplib
which do not verify the connection. Switching to requests allows the
store to perform proper connection level verification for a secure
connection. By switching to using requests, we will get several
benefits:

1. Certificate verification when using HTTPS
2. Connection pooling when following redirects
3. Help handling redirects
4. Help with Chunked Encoding

- Previously the VMWare Datastore was using HTTPS Connections from httplib
which do not verify the connection. By switching to using requests library
the VMware storage backend now verifies HTTPS connection to vCenter server
and thus addresses the vulnerabilities described in OSSN-0033.
